11044 REGRESSION: Guest session count doesn't decrement => Fixed in SVN Blrfl "On a RHEL 5.8 host and a guest running the same with Guest Additions 4.2.0, I am unable to execute programs on the guest more than 32 times:
{{{VBoxManage guestcontrol foo execute /bin/true --username bar --password baz --wait-exit}}}
On any run after 32, I get the following error:
{{{VBoxManage: error: Maximum number of guest sessions (32) reached.}}}
...and the following error in the guest's log:
{{{00:01:16.254389 ERROR [COM]: aRC=VBOX_E_IPRT_ERROR (0x80bb0005) aIID={19c32350-0618-4ede-b0c3-2b4311bf0d9b} aComponent={Guest} aText={Maximum number of guest sessions (32) reached}, preserve=false}}}
Observations:
* The guest process runs to completion and VBoxManage exits on its own.
* There is no trace of the process on the guest after it exits (as expected).
* Whether or not the guest execution service is ready doesn't appear to make a difference. I can run it 32 times when the guest is first starting up (and get the expected ""not ready"" error), after it's up and running or any combination of both.
* Shutting the guest down and restarting it resets the counter.
This worked fine in 4.1.4.
If you need additional information, please append it to this ticket and I'll provide it.
